This is what a freeper is like right before their family has them committed for a time.

14. The entire argument rests on the letter "s"

appearing after the words "parent" and "citizen".

Also this was written, and the court case decided, prior to women being allowed to vote. That change in a woman's status (IMO) fundamentally changes the meaning of that part of the Constitution.

If this person's argument was followed to it's logical conclusion then no child born of a single mother could be considered a natural born citizen because he/she was not born to parents who were citizens. Not even if that child was conceived in wedlock by a natural born citizen who was serving in the military and lost his life prior to his child's birth.


I find this argument lacking to say the least. I also think that if these people want to ignore "a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state" then they need to lighten up about two spots where the letter "s" appears.

I also find it laughable that the (R)s wanted to amend the Constitution just so Arnold Swarchenegger could run for President a decade or so ago.

This Freep is headed for a nervous breakdown because he/she is focused entirely on the letter of the law (literally) and completely ignoring the spirit of it.
